Something tells me that unlike the STS-V, GM will either have to keep it and upgrade it, or create another luxury performance sedan to keep ahead of the rest of the competition, such as the next-generation M5.

Basded on my experience the only way you'll get a better car from Toyonda is on their used lots, if somone is that damn foolish. resale value? c'mon. Rather than dignify that with a response, I'll utter two words SPREEN HONDA I wanted an STS Until I drove one.

There is no evidence that this is a quality vehicle only evidence that is just as unreliable as the GM's of the past Its fact LIVE WITH IT ! 1115 – GM builds some good models that neither Toyota or Honda offer comparisons to – like the Camaro.- Define “good” If you mean getting recalled withing days of release and YEARS of planning and hype then yes GM is “good” in regards to the Camaro.

They cant drop the whole line at once and GM will make sure they only drop the cars that they have no inventory or very little chance of them selling. I think they have over 100 cts-v in stock so the way they sell they may be around for the next couple years. No big thing here. the sts-v is gabage and the cts-v will be on the next chopping block.

The normal GXP was OK except for the large grille. The performance was good as well. The STS-V disappearing is hardly a surprise or newsworthy.

He is in trouble: as long as he is planning bigger and mightier GM, our government who owns and funds GM operations is looking towards smaller and leaner GM. There is an element of treachery here, but by whom? You can blame government for treason like those bastards who buy Toyondas. I would like to hear what NMOFGM would have to say.

This is another big advantage for GMs is they offer more discounts - true this makes its resale worse - but when you go into a dealer having negative equity, you can finance a GM without a hefty down payment.
